Obviously the most anticipated part of the whole Apple iPhone launch is the release date. What do we know? Well after CNBC reported the incorrect date being June 20th, yes we just said incorrect, we thought we’d chime in. A couple sources of ours have seen AT&T posters saying “June 11th”, but Apple usually launches products on a Tuesday. Apple’s WWDC is on Monday, the 11th of June. Can we put 2 + 2 together? Sure. My personally feeling is that El Jobso will take the stage on Monday, announcing either immediate availability, or that the phone is “available starting tomorrow”. Could we be wrong? It’s possible, but not likely. Start lining up people. Word on the street is that the current announced pricing of $499 and $599 for the 4GB and 8GB models respectively will be the 2 year contract pricing, with full retail pricing much higher. Also, remember the whole Apple iPhone prepaid thing? It looks correct. All AT&T phones including data devices can be activated or added to prepaid lines. Time will tell…
